SECURITIES DIVISION
"Providing a safer today for a better tomorrow."
Crayven Securities, Incorporated, a subsidiary of the Crayven Corporation, was founded during the height of the Clan invasion in 3055 as an strictly-for-profit independent technologies exchange. The neutral organization, unbound by any political ties, provided escrow, consultation, and research & design services to clients from across the Inner Sphere and beyond. Within the walls of its fortified corporate headquarters, plans were laid, prototypes were tested, and secret technological exchanges between high-profile clients were carried out, all behind an iron curtain of such total anonymity that in many instances, none of the parties involved in an exchange were aware of each others' identities.
The company profited first and foremost by charging exorbitant service fees to clients participating in the technological exchange program, as well as those utilizing the company's advanced research and design facilities. Furthermore, Crayven Securities, Incorporated imposed a fifteen-percent surcharge on all technology transactions handled through the organization.
Although the Securities division turned in record profits for the first three years of its operation, the company's executive officers realized that diversification would be required in order to attract new patrons and keep existing clients. A business model was created that would allow the company to add intelligence gathering, mercenary operations, and black ops to the list of services available to its clients, and four new sub-organizations within Crayven Securities were created to fit this multifaceted plan - Intelligence, Tactical / Field Operations, and Special Projects.
Crayven Intelligence - Surveillance, Espionage, and Intelligence Gathering
The largest of the Crayven Securities divisions, Intelligence's primary responsibility is the collection and analysis of tactical, technological, and political information pertaining to all of the Crayven Corporation's targets of interest, as well as those of its clients. Intelligence also communicates with Field Operations to assist in the coordination and execution tactical insertion strikes against targets specified by clientele, and against those which pose a potential threat to the Crayven Corporation, its subsidiaries, and its interests. Because the Intelligence division employs the very latest in cutting-edge intelligence-gathering technology, as well as a wide network of special agents trained in data gathering and the art of espionage, the division is consistently able to deliver quality intel at affordable prices.
Tactical / Field Operations - Mercenary Operations
Tactical operates on several levels. Its primary responsibility is to serve as a consulting forum for clientele seeking guidance in assessing, planning, and executing tactical operations against threat-class and opportunity targets, as well as those engaged in ongoing campaigns which require a high level of skilled planning and logistical coordination. Tactical also provides pro bono consulting services to the Crayven Corporation itself, and is responsible for the training of all operatives in the use of Crayven Corporation BattleTech hardware, as well as the MechCommanders who see to their well-being in the field. Field Operations serves as the active military branch of the division, and is responsible for carrying out operations assigned by Tactical.
Special Projects - Classified
At this time, Crayven Securities, Incorporated cannot comment on the activities of the Special Projects division, due to confidentiality agreements in place with numerous Clan and Inner Sphere clients.
